[ABC, BBA, NI, TWIB] Spring & Summer Book Club: The Sum of Us Final Discussion

Hi All, 

Hope you've received your book and had a chance to start reading. 

Finals are over (for most) so let's have our first discussion on The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together

We will discuss the first 3 chapters but you don't have to be that far in to join the discussion. 

On a related note, our book's author had an interview with The Pittsburgh Foundation on May 4th. We are working to get free access to Heather McGhee's talk. More details to come.

About the book: 
McGhee embarks on a deeply personal journey across the country from Maine to Mississippi to California, tallying what we lose when we buy into the zero-sum paradigm—the idea that progress for some of us must come at the expense of others. Along the way, she meets white people who confide in her about losing their homes, their dreams, and their shot at better jobs to the toxic mix of American racism and greed. This is the story of how public goods in this country—from parks and pools to functioning schools—have become private luxuries; of how unions collapsed, wages stagnated, and inequality increased; and of how this country, unique among the world’s advanced economies, has thwarted universal healthcare.
